About Me
I have a passion for providing the utmost quality of services to individuals and families struggling with mental health and substance use disorders. My clinical vision is to “ensure I provide a safe atmosphere for clients to experience their vulnerabilities while sharing their stories.”
I have enjoyed a rewarding career working with children, adolescents, and families for many years. I have provided services in the mental health field in multiple capacities including as a community support worker, community based therapist, clinical director and clinical supervisor.
Treatment modalities I utilize include cognitive behavioral therapy, trauma focused cognitive behavioral therapy, motivational interviewing, solution focused therapy, behavior modification and other evidence-based treatments to adult and adolescent clients with a wide range of emotional, behavioral, and adjustment problems, such as anxiety, stress, depression, and relationship problems.
I am certified in Trauma Focused-Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and trained in EMDR and Brainspotting. I obtained my undergraduate degree in Social Science from the University of Maryland and graduate degree in Social Work from Morgan State University. I am licensed as a Licensed Independent Clinical Social Worker (LICSW) and Licensed Clinical Social Worker-Certified (LCSW-C) with Clinical Supervision designation.

Reviews
These quotes represent just a few of the many positive reviews that we have received for Nicole White-Samuels. We don’t pay anyone to provide their review and they are all made voluntarily. Some people's experience receiving therapy with BetterHelp might be different.
Mannnn ! What can i say About Ms. Samuels, she’s such a jewel, i truly Appreciate her for what she does, she makes me feel so comfortable about talking to her about anything I’ve been batting my mental health for a while, and Im glad i finally took the step to seek help, i would recommend her any day you will be glad you took the step.
Nicole White-Samuels is an effective therapist and counselor. She actively listens and picks up on cues before she responds or inquires. She has helped me with couples counseling, career counseling, anxiety, and other issues I included in our sessions. Nicole provided me with worksheets that have helped me assess, identify, and address my challenges. I have had no issues with accessing her and many times she started our sessions earlier if I was online. Now that we've completed our sessions, I feel that I have grown and have the tools I need to be successful and live an enriching life.
Listens very well and follows up to encourage engagement and continuous assistance
Ms. Nicole is awesome, she's someone that will listen to you and ask you questions that you should be asking yourself. She gave me so much to consider in situations when I would normal get carried away with my own thoughts. I highly recommend her!!!
I am pleased with my experience. I feel listened to and valued. I am realizing I am enough and my future is brighter than my present.
Nicole is WONDERFUL. In only a couple sessions with her (so far) I am already starting to feel like I have a better grasp on my situation. Nicole is attentive, thoughtful in her wording and counseling, and has already helped me to find hope and grace for my situation.
Nicole is a phenomenal counselor that knows how to calm my anxiety and intensity. She recenters me to promote self care, personal growth, and asks the critical questions that guide me through my emotional and psychological work while holding me accountable to the commitments and decisions I’ve made.
Such an eye opening experience to work with Nicole. She has been wonderful and supportive, yet challenges me where I need it most.
Very professional with a calming voice.
